Wow, I didn't think I'd get anything that detailed lol are the wider than the e46, or still about the same? That's pretty cool how close they are. And yes I agree, stock for stock135i is better looking than base e46, but m3 is better looking than 135i. But modified 135i>m3.

Naa, I've listened to every kind, hated them all. It may just be that ours sounds so amazing, everything else will pale in comparison. Perhaps I'll just get an M2 or M4 as my next car. I also need to win the lottery on Wednesday apparently.

Yeah, I love the size of the E82, too. It feels just right.
I'm an E46 M3 fanboy, and Greg, give it a try one day if you have not yet. The induction noise, mhmmmmm. I think the sound coming both from the engine and the exhaust is something I wish I could experience IRL. Guess it's too late, though...

I'd be intrigued to hear someone's thoughts comparing a 135 to an X1 35 msport since it should drive pretty similar to a wagon version of our car. Also, did you demand a matching deep sea blue X1? =P Can't tell if it's deep sea or lemans. |

I drive X1's daily and I can't even start to say how much I hate them.

The X1 always looked very odd to me, but I've never driven one to judge. Isn't the new 2 series active tourist model or whatever they call that thing supposed to replace the X1? They look like they would overlap quite a bit and both have that weird minivanish shape lol.
Anyway I'd like to report that the summer RFTs absolutely blow in a quarter inch of snow. Was "fun" trying to get car into the driveway this morning haha. I also finally did the throttle reset on my DCT. I didn't really hear anything at the 25 or 30 second marks so I just assumed nothing happened, but as soon as I started her up and went, wow what a difference. Faster clutch engagement, smoother starts and it actually shifts at a little higher range than before! (Just past 2k rpm with a tiny bit of throttle). I love the DCT even more now! |

No worries. Oh no mine actually jumped a bit the very first time it went to first gear after the reset, when before it would always slip the clutch. The second and third starts from 0 it got smoother but was still super crisp. Love it!

IT CAN DO DONUTS!!!
it's not that fun...but it can do them! the rear swings out pretty easily with all season tires (Rear-biased AWD system? not sure). (i got kicked out by the cleaning crew today and got told i was ruining their scraping of snow....LOL) BTW, i really like the X1. A very nice package. It's not a 'fun' car per se, but very nicely appointed and seems to be an honest, reasonably affordable, BMW family mobile. Probably the ONLY SUV i could be happy owning. I just wish it came with a manual gearbox. An N55 X1 with a manual gearbox would be one hell of a family-mobile. Last edited by IEDEI; 02-18-2014 at 09:58 AM.. |

the X1 is really nice. Consider me a bit of a fan. I'd probably rather have this than an F30 3-series..... (take that comment with a grain of salt, because the largest car i've ever owned was an A3 quattro...lol) |
